Former professional wrestler, actor, political commentator, author, naval veteran, and politician, Jesse Ventura said, “Wrestling is ballet with violence.” I could not agree more. The men and women who wrestle in the ring perform tremendous feats of strength and endurance, all timed and rehearsed to depict seemingly violent acts. Wrestlers are a mix of actors and athletes that put on shows where the danger of being hurt is very real, but that’s all part of the allure. Continue reading →

Let’s be clear. Your job does not exist. Your employer does not exist. Those alien artifacts and technology you see over there. Those doesn’t exist either. Yes, you exist. Don’t be silly and don’t let your control area get out of .. well .. control. We like to keep things clean and organized here. And by “we”, I mean no one. Now get to work, Agent. Continue reading →

American syndicated columnist, pundit, author and radio commentator, Cal Thomas, said “One of the reasons people hate politics is that truth is rarely a politician’s objective. Election and power are.” Many share this point of view, but there are still many more who consider politics and politicians vitals gears in the democratic machine, for better or worse. In this game, players pit politicians from different time periods to debate universal concerns. Continue reading →

It’s one of those tragedies that I’ve forgotten what dinosaurs are cool.” I never forgot. It’s the Triceratops. That creature was a tank on four legs with horns ready to ruin a Tyrannosaurus Rex’s day. As adults, we still remember our love of dinosaurs and now we get to share our fascination with our children, whether they want to or not. Continue reading →

People just don’t understand the level of dedication it takes to be a mad scientist. You’re treated as an outsider, never invited to lecture, and are forced to hire second-rate lab assistants. The pay is abysmal, as well. What makes it worth while is the chance to practice some really interesting science. Of course, the angry villagers who are always mobbing you with torches are a nuisance, but one cannot have it all. Continue reading →
